Apache — Shelter

Location: Salisbury, Massachusetts

Hit by a car and left to her own defenses, this little pup dragged herself on the hot pavement for months, somehow surviving the harsh streets of south Texas. Wearing her flesh down to the bone, she continued day by day to go unnoticed until a video posted online caught the attention of one special lady. That lady hunted down this poor pup and finally rescued her and bringing her into veterinary care. Apache now inspires compassion in multitudes of her followers and brings attention to animals that would have been otherwise euthanized. Though mobility requires some help via a wheelchair, she delights passers by as she marches along with a smile and a bright step. Apache is raising awareness for those dogs who would be not given a second look and enjoying her second chance at life.
